The Ruling on the Prayer of Expiation, the Prayer of Tasbih, and the Prayer Before the Funeral Prayer
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
This is a question from a Sudanese man residing in Riyadh. He says: I have heard from some people that there is a prayer called the Prayer of Expiation or the Prayer of Guidance, and the Prayer of Tasbih, and a prayer before the funeral prayer. Are these prayers prescribed?
Answer:
These are all religious innovations (bid'ah), and they have no basis. There is no prayer before the funeral prayer; it is only the funeral prayer itself. However, they may pray the obligatory prayer first, and then pray over the deceased, as is the case in mosques now.
